Today's dog food industry is producing hundreds of dog food formulas for the market. This industry has also tested many different breeds of dogs for their nutritional requirements. Results of this testing were published in 1985, showing such a wide range of nutritional requirements that we now know one food cannot be correct for all dogs. Yet, to date, no one from any of the dog food companies has come forward to tell us which breeds might react adversely to their food. This has left most dog food buyers in the position of having to experiment at home in order to find the best food for their dog. Too often this type of experimenting has had disastrous results. But now the dog food buyer has a tool...this book can help all dog owners match their dog to the right food. Recommendations in this book are made by the nutrient sources found in most commercial dog food formulas, and not by brand name or with any bias or brand loyalty.

Since the breed’s creation at the turn of the twentieth century, the German Shepherd Dog has been one of the world’s most sought-after purebred dogs, prized for his intelligence, handsome looks, and uncanny versatility. This Comprehensive Owner’s Guide serves as an ideal introduction to this dog of dogs, that serves humankind as a companion, protector, police dog, herding dog, military dog, search and rescue dog, Seeing Eye dog, and therapy dog, to name a few of the breed’s modern-day roles.. The breed’s origins are retold in the first chapter, beginning with the efforts of Max Emil Friedrich von Stephanitz to standardize the sheep-herding dogs in Germany in the 1890s and following the breed’s importation to the United States, where the German Shepherd Dog has been a favored companion, show dog, and competition trial dog since the 1920s. The chapter on the breed’s characteristics focuses on owner suitability, describing the GSD’s physical and mental traits, versatility, agility, and requirements. The breed standard is presented in the third chapter, giving the readers a clear view of how the ideal GSD should look, act, and move. New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy. Chapters on puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are illustrated with photographs of handsome adults and puppies. In all, there are over 135 full-color photographs in this useful and reliable volume. The author’s advice on obedience training will help the reader better mold and train into the most well-mannered dog in the neighborhood. The extensive and lavishly illustrated chapter on healthcare provides up-to-date detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites, infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as historical dogs, breeders, or kennels, toxic plants, first aid, crate training, carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully indexed.

The Illustrated Standard for the German Shepherd Dog is the most comprehensive book on the breed ever published. It features 220 pages and nearly 500 of Shaw's original drawings and diagrams illustrating the structure, anatomy and gaits of the German Shepherd Dog. Also lavishly illustrated with photographs of good dogs of past and present, no one who studies the material in this book will be in any doubt about what is and isn't normal structure and gait in a working dog. The result of the author's years of experience in both show and schutzhund, and as a professional animal illustrator, it presents an objective, performance centered interpretation of breed structure, uninfluenced by the fashion of any particular show ring.The first edition of The Illustrated Standard for the German Shepherd Dog sold out within six months. It was awarded Best Breed Book of 2016 by the Dog Writers Association of America, and was also praised by Prof. H. Messler, President of the SV, as the best book since Gorrieri.The second edition contains more than twenty additional pages of detailed anatomical drawings of the back/topline, forehand and hindquarters, showing all variations from correct to extreme, and explanations of why it matters to a working dog.
